In this paper we describe a study of the durability of calcium aluminate cement (CAC) reinforced with nano- and micro- cellulose fibers. The nanocelluloses were in the form of nanofibrillated cellulose -obtained from sisal ...

The aim of this work was to provide an investigation of nonwoven geotextiles resistance to the environment. When a geotextile is used in a civil engineering structure, it is intended to perform a particular function for a ...

A growing customer demand currently exists for denim apparel with a used, worn, faded appearance or even holes in the fabric. In this work, we examined the effect of treating denim with an aqueous solution of an oxidant ...

The electrical characterization of crosstalk of fabrics elaborated with conductive yarns is investigated. The impact of the source, victim and ground traces location is reported. The experimental results show that the ...

Traditionally, architectural materials performance was the key point for developing materials; but nowadays, other criteria’s as sustainability, availability and recyclability are being considered. By the other hand, the ...

Starch-based foamed blocks reinforced with natural fillers and with a high potential for being applied as bioderived and biodegradable shaped protective packaging were produced in this work. The use of natural fillers as ...

In this study, we analyse the extrusion foaming capabilities of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) with endothermic chemical blowing agents (CBAs) based on sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. An epoxy functionalized chain extender ...
